![The Christmas Cowboy Hero (Heart of Texas) by [Grant, Donna]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51vr3JjFD5L.jpg)
New York Times bestselling author Donna Grant returns to Texas, where a small-town legend just might find the greatest gift of all. . .
’Tis the season for ex-Navy SEAL Clayton East to come home for the holidays—even if the mood at home is anything but festive. His father is ill. The East Ranch is in financial trouble. And now it’s on Clayton, the prodigal son, to make sure his family doesn’t lose everything.
Headstrong Abby Harper is like a mother to her younger brothers, who she’s helped raise since she was a teenager. Keeping them in line is no small task while she’s also working toward her college degree. And now that one of her brothers has been arrested for stealing cattle at the East Ranch, Abby is at her wits’ end. But there is a silver lining: Clayton East. He believes in second chances, and is willing to give one to her brother this Christmas. Letting beautiful Abby—and the inescapable longing in his heart—off the hook, however, is a whole ’nother story. Could it be that the woman of this local hero’s dreams has been back at home all along? AMAZON 4.5 STARS
I enjoyed this book. Family plays a much bigger part to the story than I would have thought. But that made it even more appealing. Both Abby and Clayton are really good main characters. But other good characters are Abby's teenage brothers, Brice and Caleb. And Clayton's parents Ben and Justine are no slouches either.
Abby and Clayton have had a fair amount of responsibilities that rested on their shoulders. Abby's father died after a long illness. Then her mother bailed on the family leaving Abby as legal guardian to her brothers when she was only 18. Eight years have passed an she has done the best she could but it's been a big struggle. She loves them fiercely and has done the best she can doing without so many times. They do without a lot but not without love.
Clayton has his own struggles. Struggles that have kept him running instead of coming home. He just wasn't ready. But when he understands that he is needed and things are desperate at the ranch, he comes home right away.
There is plenty of action trying to discover what is going on with finding the master mind behind the stealing of the cattle and money. It kept me interested and so did the developing romance.
There is a H.E.A. all the way around.
Attractive eBook cover.

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley and this is my honest opinion of it.
